I tested this morning with FMU with a $-tree test since my temp went up a 10th of a degree this morning and it was B-F-N. I don't know what gives and why my body is doing this to me!!!! Anyone know? Could it be a cyst?

hey KD - it could be a cyst .. I had a little one about 2 years ago and it made me feel pregnant. I was nauseus, crampy, had headaches and everything but it was my cyst. I wasn't temping back then so I don't know about that. I looked at your chart and you definitely look pregnant .. it's a perfect chart! It's possible that you just aren't showing up on a urine test yet. Call your doctor and make an appt for a blood test or a pelvic exam that way you know for sure. My fingers are crossed for you :)

wow ... maybe it's just too early. my old manager never had any symptoms ... she had a light period for 4 months (weird, I know) and found out she was 4 months pregnant so I guess anything is possible. If you can wait, wait but if it's becoming too stressful on you, then go ahead and try to get in the doctor. I let every little thing freak me out so I wouldn't be able to wait but you may be different. what is your usual luteal length?

yeah that's would i would do. BFN's are too heartbreaking to have everyday. Good luck and i'm praying you get that BFP soon :) I still can't believe how awesome your chart looks too. I've read that if your temps stay up for at least 18 days, your chances of being pregnant are pretty high. Keep me updated!

I know!!!! I've read that too and that's what's making me crazy!!!!!! I've ****NEVER**** had this before! They usually plummet at 11DPO and keep going downward all the way through menstruation!!!!! Thanks for the support!! I'll be keeping everyone posted in the next few days! ~hugs~

Well I have an appointment with an infertility doctor on Wednesday to see what's going on. My OB refused to do another blood test and told me to call the infertility doctor. :( Hopefully he'll administer a blood test!

KD, are you sure that you O'd? I'm looking at your chart and it looks kinda flat to me especially compared to your previous months...idk...just trying to figure this out. I thought that I had O'd last month and ended up with a luteal phase of about 25 days. But when my OB looked at my chart she said that it was annovulatory. The lack of ovulation caused the absence of progesterone which caused my estrogen to surge to make up for the deficiency...then the progesterone kicked in and my hormonse were a mess. The hormone imballance gave me all kinds of preggo symptoms (achy bbs, dark blue veins in chest and abs, nausea, headaches, lots of cm, cramping...you name it). I hope that you are preggo though and although it's not typical I've seen charts that didn't get a bfp until around 20dpo. GOOD LUCK!!!

Well if you notice on my other charts, I was on Clomid and I'm not anymore. I was ALWAYS sweating & hot like you wouldn't believe with that stuff. I'd also like to factor in that its about 20-30 degrees cooler in my state than it was in August of last year and I've read that the big temp difference doesn't matter as long as you can see a thermal shift, which I have. I do believe I've O-ed, however, I'd more like to think I might've O-ed a day or two later than what FF says. Nonetheless, I'd still be 17DPO if I O-ed 2 days later and my temps are still high up there. I have NO symptoms at all though, thankfully. :) Time will tell and I can't wait much longer!!

KATHY - i'd definitely INSIST on the blood work at the RE's ofc - and do it when you 1st get there - or better yet - call them tomorrow and ask if you can go to a lab for blood work so you have some results to talk about at the appointment. that way you don't waste the appointment ------- if you are PG then you'll find out that day at the appt - and if you're not - then you'll likely get a p'script for progesterone or something to help bring AF on - and then you can get the CD 3 bw done etc - and who knows maybe move on to injectibles??? - i had the same awful reaction to clomid -- but had no issues with the injectibles (other than my fear of needles - but they didn't really hurt) -- i'd say go for it - be pro-active and tell them you NEED a blood test as you are not usually 4 days late with no pregnancy. good luck -i was hoping to see a + from you - but hopefully the RE will do the trick and you'll get it very very soon!! i am glad you are seeing a new doc.

Thanks Julie! I'm just kinda PO'd that my own OB wouldn't give me a blood test (I've probably had 4 from her) but sends me to another OB/Fertility Doctor b/c she says he's more knowledgable of fertility issues. Ugh! I'm 20 DPO today and my temp went up another 10th of a degree. I hope something is not wrong with me. I am sleeping at the same temp with the same # of blankets and the same PJ's I've been using this whole cycle (of course they've been washed a few times, lol) so I don't know what's going on if I am not pregnant. I am not sick at all either. WEIRD!

I SO say you're preggo.... Really. YOu have a thermal shift and everything! Can you not bombard your family doctor and say you just want a quantative HCG test?? I've gone to mine for one and they didn't have a problem... But I'd also say it's time for you to get a new OB... They are denying you service with a GREAT looking chart... yeah, adios ob! Oh PLEASE go see a Dr and get a blood test done! Maybe even an u/s just to see if there is a cyst but when I had mine, my temps dropped just like with AF and everything... I just had a really heavy bleed and PAINFUL!

Hi Megs, thanks for the input. If in fact I did O later (good possibility), that still puts me up past 16 days of steady rising temperatures when I should've plummeted about 3-4 days back. So, I guess THAT's good news!
